So far, what I've found is that, with a balaclava and just my regular
glasses, my breath fogs up the glasses pretty quick. This year I got a
Scott brand MTB-purposed "OTG" (over-the-glasses) goggle, and for
whatever reason, it does NOT fog up from my breath, except on rare
occasion when I stop. And it usually clears in a few seconds. Must be
something different about the airflow with the goggle, but I'm effed if
I know what.
I did treat the lens with some snake-oil anti-fog lens "treatment"
someone was hawking at a booth at Ironman this year. No idea if it's
actually making a difference, but so far the setup is working for me.
I also widened out the nostril opening on the balaclava, because it was
otherwise a tight fit and pinching my quasi-Durantean nose. I reckon
this is directing my exhalations downward away from the goggle.

Hi all,
I am outfitted to bike through severe cold temperatures, but find that
my nose is sometimes still exposed and in danger of frost nip.
If I pull my merino wool balaclava up to cover my nose, my goggles fog up.
In the past I have used a fleece ear warmer as an add-on around my
head at nose-level, but it's sort of precarious.
Just seeing what others do for full face protection when the
temperatures (without wind factor) are in the -10 to -20 range?
